Infiniti QX55 - Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More
Pros | Pretty styling, comfortable seats, good amounts of storage |
Cons | CVT is bad, infotainment is bad, engine is only fine |
Bottom Line | The Infiniti QX55 is a style-over-substance choice, one of the prettiest of the "coupe-overs" on the market, but let down by a sub-premium ride. |

2022 Infiniti QX55 Review: First Drive
The problem with name-dropping your inspiration is you immediately stack the deck against yourself.
If the people like product X, the logic goes, then some of that goodwill should transfer to product Y. That seems to be Infiniti’s game plan during the digital pre-drive 2022 QX55 presentation, where the original FX SUV figures prominently. The FX started the coupe-over segment according to Infiniti, which is technically correct ( the best kind of correct). It was a style tour de force for crossovers, and an athletic one to boot. Infiniti is clearly hoping that magic has transferred to the QX55.
Some of it has. The QX55 accomplishes the aesthetic challenge thrown down by the old “Bionic Cheetah.” It’s not simply good-looking; it just might be the most attractive car in its class. The QX55 can’t match its inspiration’s dynamic qualities however, and in doing so, it makes us more nostalgic for what was, than excited for what is.
